Doubling the princess factor was Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark. The royals (and their husbands, as if we care) donned hard hats to tour the facility, assemble an aid package and sample high-protein peanut paste intended for malnourished children in East Africa.

Kate also disclosed that she and Prince William plan to embark on a humanitarian mission to Africa soon.

Closer to home, the British Fashion Council assuaged concerns that Kate isnt getting enough attention for what she wears by adding the Duchess as a nominee for the British Style Award.
